THE Journal has no prejudice for or against
cigar-makers, but it has prejudice against
politicians who try to get votes under false
pretenses. Sim Coy's candidate has been pos
ing in this campaign as workingman in gen.
eral and a cigar maker in particular. The
Journal knows to certainty that not all the
craft recognize his claims in this regard In
a cigar-maker's establishment on Malott
avenue, a day or two ago, a cigar maker
openly denounced d.. Edenharter and de-
cared that at critical time in the fortunes
of the craft he was so unpopular that the
cigar makers were almost ready to tar and
feather him. Probably that was about the
time he was getting off with the old love and
on with the new-out of cigar making into
politics.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

The citizens meeting last night in Tomlin-
son Hall was fully twice large in point of
numbers as that held by the Coy gang on
Saturday night, while in enthusiasm and ap-
parent determination there could be no COM
parison. The Democrats who were COM
PEELED to give in their adhesion to the gang
did so with as good grace as possible. but
they had no relish for the work. Last night
the people who filled that immense audito-
rum were in mind and heart thoroughly de-
voted to the duty before them. The meeting,
also. was as near an ideal citizens meeting
as could have been desired or planned, if
previous plan there had been. Prohibitionist,
Democrat, mugwump and Republican, each
and all, spoke his personal sentiments as to
his partisan views and affiliations but each
defeating the attempted capture of the city
by the Liquor League and the Coy gang.
There has never been such meeting held in
Indianapolis, and it augurs well for the fut-
ure well-being of the city. Democrat and
Republican, Prohibitionist and mugwump,
white men and colored, abating no jot
title of their partisanship on national and
State questions, each knowing nothing but
their own partisan faiths and predictions.
and speaking for them with zeal and warmth,
yet all uniting in common purpose to pre-
vent the local administration falling into the
hands of combination of law breakers, with
open and ayowed purpose to suspend or vio-
late the laws at their own sweet will. The
freedom of speech and the determined ear
nestness of last nights meeting augured well,
not only for the result of to-days election, but
for the future of the city whenever similar
crisis shall be again reached.

LOOK OUT FOR THE COUNCIL.


Naturally enough, the main interest of to-
days contest centers in the election of Mayor.
Circumstances have combined to make the
mayoralty the point of greatest interest and
the measure of strength between the opposing
forces. But the election of councilmen and
aldermen must not be overlooked nor neglect
ed The friends of law and order have duty
to perform in this regard quite as grave and
important as that pertaining to the Mayor.
1t would be but half victory, and very un-
satisfactory result, to elect the Mayor and
lose the Council. Every effort should be made
to prevent such result. The objective point,
the principal end to work for is the defeat of
Coyism and the Coy gang. Anti-Coy voters
in all the wards and districts should remem-
Der this and vote accordingly, 1t is not time
for voting in the air. Every vote should be
put where it will do the most good, and con-
tribute as directly and certainly as possible
to the defeat of the gang.

military encampment in Chicago in five min

Milwaukee Soldiers Home, where the veter-

his horses would travel, in order to catch a

evident that Mr.. Cleveland has no love for
war or for aught that reminds him of war.

THE gang and the gang organs are very
anxious to evade responsibility for the in
famous outrage attempted upon Mayor Denny.
1t is not remorse for or disgust with the plot
itself, but their distress is because it was
found out. The record shows that one of the
principal schemers was an attache of one of
the gang organs and he publicly boosted on
Saturday night that two or three columns
would appear on Monday or Tuesday. and that
